Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
A liberal diet approach is a holistic approach that includes the individual's personal goals, overall prognosis, risk/benefit ratio, and quality of life. A liberalized approach has been shown to promote a better intake, lower the incidence of unintentional weight loss, and improve quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: A client with inflammatory bowel disease often develops inflammation in the bowel wall which promotes bleeding and fistula formation. Increased calories are needed to promote mucosal healing and fistula closure as well as provide nutritional support to meet the normal caloric and nutritional requirements for energy.
